Built around your shop — not bolted on

By the time they hang up, the media room wiring and setups is quoted, booked, and on the tech's phone.

Not an AI receptionist bolted onto someone else's software. DispatchNode prices from your home theater installation catalog and rules, books the job on the board, collects Stripe, and the tech sees it on their phone.

Anatomy of a Lost Job

7:15 PM - Urgent Call

Homeowner building a dedicated theater room — wants surround sound and 4K projection installed.

Estimated Opportunity Lost

The Old Way:
Losing Projects to Voicemail.

An audiophile calls asking about Dolby Atmos speaker placement for a 7.2.4 configuration in a room with 9-foot ceilings. Your receptionist doesn't know the difference between in-ceiling height channels and surround speakers. The buyer assumes your company is incompetent and calls the specialty integrator across town.

A general contractor hangs drywall in a new-construction basement on Friday. Your pre-wire was scheduled for next Monday. Every speaker wire, HDMI conduit, and power drop that should have been run behind the studs now requires surface-mounted raceways or destructive drywall cuts, inflating the project cost by $12,000.

A homeowner spends $30,000 on a dedicated theater room with a 4K laser projector and 9 speakers. Nobody performs acoustic calibration. The room has a 400-millisecond echo, the bass is muddy, and the customer withholds the $8,000 final payment because the system sounds worse than their old soundbar.

Home Theater Installation — why missed calls hurt

Market reality

A homeowner stands in a freshly framed basement, staring at open ceiling joists, and realizes the drywall crew arrives in 10 days. If he doesn't get a low-voltage company in here to run speaker wire, HDMI conduit, and power drops before those joists are covered, retrofitting will cost 4x as much. He calls three integrators — the one who books a pre-wire visit within 48 hours wins a $35,000 theater build.

How Una wins the job

A homeowner calls to build a dedicated basement theater with a 130-inch screen. The AI agent asks for room dimensions, ceiling height, whether the joists are open or drywalled, and the ambient light level. It confirms the open joists can accommodate in-ceiling Atmos speakers and discusses 4K laser projector throw distance requirements for the room depth. The scheduling engine books a design consultation, captures the general contractor's contact information, and syncs the pre-wire installation date with the framing schedule to guarantee the low-voltage work completes before drywall. The system pushes the room dimensions and equipment specifications to the designer's tablet, and the project closes at $35,000 with the calibration session included.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent engage technically knowledgeable home theater buyers during intake?

The AI agent parses room dimensions and desired screen size to calculate the optimal projector throw ratio. It discusses speaker configuration options — 5.1.2 versus 7.2.4 Atmos layouts — based on room width and ceiling type, demonstrating technical credibility that keeps audiophile buyers engaged through the consultation booking.
